Rumor has it that Jeremy Huntwork may have mentioned these words:

The next bit of code I'd like to test out would be the client sending a command to the server which the server will execute. That shouldn't be hard I don't think.

Looks good. :) Except, for the sake of accuracy, you're missing some includes:

As far as executing, I suppose you could just have the server pass whatever text it receives from the client (except if it's in a special format) to a system call. Of course, eventually we'd want to figure out some authentication.

Authentication could be handled with a simple command line "--allow [insert IPs here]" like the distccd daemon does, or were you thinking 'command line parsing' to make sure a command like "rm /" doesn't do any actual damage... Both (in some form) would be prudent. ;-)
